We also visited Maeshowe on our trip.  It was very interesting.
We got to play some games about the Early Settlers whilst we were at the Ring of Brodgar.
We were given a challenge to run around the Ring of Brodgar and count all the stones.
We had a tour around Skara Brae.
The passageways in the replica house were quite small.
We liked visiting the replica house at Skara Brae but we were not sure if we would have liked to have lived there.
We all enjoyed being in the replica house.
The exhibition at Skara Brae had computer games that showed us what Skara Brae would have looked like a long time ago.
We enjoyed our look around the exhibition at Skara Brae.  We saw some of the materials the Early Settlers would have used.

We all put our seatbelts on and sat well on the bus on our way to Skara Brae.

We had beautiful sunny weather for our trip to Binscarth.  We all enjoyed walking and exploring in the woods.
We enjoyed our walk in Binscarth. 
We came across this little caterpillar in the field next to the woods.
We found out that moss mostly grows on the north facing side of a tree.
We got some really good bark rubbings.
